Probably, but the replacement for the Colt looks like your run of the
mill ordinary rifle.

How are you feeling, by the way? On the road to recovery, I hope.

Actually Im feeling rather well, thanks for asking. Yesterday, I went to the dr. for a follow up, and will start cardio-therapy at my local hospital next week. Still got a ways to go but the immediate dangers are over, at least that's the popular opinion...

I would think some rabbit hunting would be good cardio-therapy.

Not if you do it in cold weather. There's something about exertion in
the cold that seems to bring on heart attacks.

In the bitter cold, yes It's in the high 40 low 50s here which isn't bad, pretty comfortable actually. If it's really cold and I have to go out I'll wear some kind of make... probably.

It's a ffffreeezing 58 here this morning. No snow however but it
feels like there should be.


Awwwwwe ....

Walked out to the van yesterday morning and nearly fell on my ass due to
the ice on the driveway.

Be careful, falls on ice are a leading cause of broken hips in the
north east. As for me, it looks like I'm going to have to make the
ultimate sacrifice and turn off the pool heater, much as I hate to do
that.

Yeah, that fog rising off the water is just $$ evaporating.
Our pool has been winterized and covered since the middle of October.
With any luck, we'll never see it opened again.

It looks like I am going straight from no pool heat to no pool. I was
holding the high 70s, not really "florida friendly" but tolerable. The
last cold snap took it down to 73. Now it is only suitable to guys
like Don who swim in arctic waters year around.
I imagine our kids will get in next week. They are Northern Michigan
people now.
